Question : Directions: Study the double bar graph given below and answer the question.

The average number of students participating in the exhibition is:

Option 1: 48.75

Option 2: 52.5

Option 3: 45

Option 4: 50

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 52.5


Solution : From the given graph,
The total number of students participating in the exhibition = 45 + 30 + 60 + 75 = 210
The number of classes = 4
The average number of students participating in the exhibition = $\frac{\text{The total number of students participating in the exhibition}}{{\text{The number of classes}}}$
The average number of students participating in the exhibition = $\frac{210}{4}$ = 52.5
Hence, the correct answer is 52.5.

Question : When milk is converted into curd, which type of change is it?

Option 1: Reversible change

Option 2: Physical change

Option 3: Isothermal change

Option 4: Chemical change

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Chemical change


Solution : The correct option is Chemical change.

When milk is converted into curd, it is a chemical change. This transformation involves the fermentation of milk by beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, which consume the lactose (milk sugar) and produce lactic acid. The production of lactic acid changes the composition and properties of the milk, giving it a thicker texture and a sour taste, which are characteristic of curd or yoghurt. This chemical change is irreversible, as you cannot easily revert curd into milk with the same properties it had before the transformation.

Question : Directions: In the following question, four number pairs are given. The number on the left side of (–) is related to the number on the right side of (–) with some logic, rule, or relationship. Three are similar on the basis of the same logic, rule, or relationship. Select the odd one out of the given alternatives.

Option 1: 7 – 49

Option 2: 2 – 4

Option 3: 5 – 25

Option 4: 3 – 39

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 3 – 39


Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: 7 – 49; (7)2 = 49
Second option: 2 – 4; (2)2 = 4
Third option: 5 – 25; (5)2 = 25
Fourth option: 3 – 39; (3)2 = 9 ≠ 39

The fourth option does not fit the pattern. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Rs. 13000 is divided among X, Y, and Z such that 2 times X's share is equal to 3 times Y's share which is equal to 4 times Z's share. What is the share of Y?

Option 1: Rs. 3200

Option 2: Rs. 4800

Option 3: Rs. 5600

Option 4: Rs. 4000

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 4000


Solution : Let $2X = 3Y = 4Z = k$
$X =\frac{k}{2}, Y = \frac{k}{3}, Z = \frac{k}{4}$
The sum of shares of all of them together = 13000
⇒ $\frac{k}{2} + \frac{k}{3} + \frac{k}{4} = 13000$
⇒ $\frac{6k+4k+3k}{12}=13000$
⇒ $\frac{13k}{12}=13000$
⇒ $k = 12000$
$\therefore$ Share of $Y = \frac{1}{3}\times 12000=4000$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 4000.

Question : Select the most appropriate synonym for the underlined word in the given sentence.

She is painfully introverted, but she is an intelligent girl.

Option 1: Shy

Option 2: Outspoken

Option 3: Social

Option 4: Bold

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Shy


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Introverts are typically reserved people.

Outspoken, social, and bold are terms used for people who are not as reserved as introverts.

The sentence describes the girl as being painfully introverted, which suggests that she is extremely shy and uncomfortable around other people. The other options are not as appropriate because they do not convey the same sense of social awkwardness.

Therefore, shy will be the correct choice.

Question : What is the sum of all two-digit even numbers?

Option 1: 2430

Option 2: 2410

Option 3: 2470

Option 4: 2520

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2430


Solution : The first 2 digit number is 10 and the last two-digit number is 98.
Sum = $\frac{n}{2}(\text{first term + last term})$
Number of terms = $\frac{(98 - 10)}{2} + 1$ = 45
Now, we can find the sum:
Sum = $\frac{45}{2}(10 + 98)$
⇒ Sum = $45\times54$
⇒ Sum = 2430
Therefore, the sum of all two-digit even numbers is 2430.
Hence, the correct answer is 2430.

Question : Which of the following is the most problematic and primary difficulty of barter exchanges as against money-based exchanges?

Option 1: Bartered exchanges involve difficulty in preserving value.

Option 2: Barter exchanges may result in an incorrect valuation of the goods transacted.

Option 3: Barter exchanges may be imperfectly divisible.

Option 4: Barter exchanges require a double coincidence of wants.

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Barter exchanges require a double coincidence of wants.

Question : The population of a city increases compounded by 10% annually. The present population of this city is 1,33,100. What was the population of the city 2 years ago?

Option 1: 1,01,000

Option 2: 1,10,000

Option 3: 1,21,000

Option 4: 1,00,000

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1,10,000


Solution : $P=P{_0}​×(1+r)^t$
where: $P$ is the present population, $P{_0}$​ is the past population, $r$ is the annual growth rate (as a decimal), and $t$ is the number of years.
Given, $P{_0} = 133,100$
$r = 10\%$
We have to find the population 2 years ago ($t=−2$ years)
$133100=P{_0}×(1+\frac{10}{100})^{2}$
$⇒P{_0}=133100×(\frac{11}{10})^{−2}$
$⇒P{_0}=133100×\frac{1}{(\frac{11}{10})^2}$​
$⇒P{_0}=133100×\frac{100}{121}$
$⇒P{_0}=1,10,000$
Hence, the correct answer is 1,10,000.

Question : A can do in one day three times the work done by B in one day. They together finish $\frac{2}{5}$th of the work in 9 days. The number of days by which B can do the work alone is:

Option 1: 90 days

Option 2: 120 days

Option 3: 100 days

Option 4: 30 days

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 90 days


Solution : Given: A can do in one day three times the work done by B in one day. They together finish $\frac{2}{5}$th of the work in 9 days.
Let the efficiency of B = $a$ units,
So, the efficiency of A = 3$a$ units
Here, $\frac{2}{5}$th of the work is done by them in 9 days.
So, the total work is done by them in (9 × $\frac{5}{2}$) = $\frac{45}{2}$ days
We know,
Total work = Total efficiency × Number of days = $(a+3a)×\frac{45}{2}$ = 90$a$ units
$\therefore$ The required days for B to do the work alone = $\frac{90a}{a}$ = 90 days
Hence, the correct answer is 90 days.
